Use law of cosines to get any one angle, and either law of sines or law of cosines to get another angle; and finish using angle-sum property for the last angle measure.

Note that the similar triangle a=2,b=4,c=5 will have the same corresponding angle measures.

2%5E2%2B4%5E2-2%2A2%2A4%2Acos%28C%29=5%5E2
Find angle measure opposite side c. Continue from that.
